5:00 am
good morning. i'm anthony mason. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. here are a few of the stories we'll be looking at on cbs "this morning saturday." the presidential campaigns turn their attention to tuesday's vital debate with just 24 days until election day. >> the drought has caused devastation in farmlands across the nation but this one crop rises above them all. >> a convicted murderer of a new york multimillionaire is the subject of a new documentary by his victims' kids. now he's reaching out. >> 50 years after the cuban missile crisis a look at the cbs news vault at fidel castro one month after he seized power. all that and so much more on cbs "this morning saturday," saturday, october 13, 2012
5:01 am
we did it. another weekend is here. >> welcome to the weekend. we're here. >> congratulations and the final countdown is on as far as politics are concerned, 24 days left until election day. president obama and governor romney have begun to turn their attention to tuesday's second of three presidential debates. as for the vice presidential candidates now that their debate is over, they are back on the campaign trail and they are not letting up. nancy cordes is at the courthouse a white house and joins us now. >> reporter: that one and only vice presidential debate may be behind us but the two men involved are keeping the argument going out on the campaign trail even as hair running mates prepare for another match-up. >> i'm sure you observed last night we had a little bit of a debate. >> reporter: in lacrosse, wisconsins vice president biden brought up a topic he and ryan
5:02 am
tangled over on thursday night, abortion. >> congressman ryan made it clear that they are prepared to impose their private views on everyone else. made very clear that they do not believe a woman has the right to control her own body. >> paul ryan. >> reporter: in lancaster, ohio, congressman ryan focused on another issue, the administration's handling of the attack in libya that left four americans dead. >> this is not what leadership looks like. we need clarity not confusion. we need accountability and no more excuses. but unfortunately what we're witnessing when we turn our tvs on a daily base is the unraveling of the obama foreign policy. >> reporter: governor romney joined forces with ryan in ohio and declared his running mate the winner, though instant polls were divided on that question. >> there was one person on the stage with thoughtfulness, who
5:03 am
was respectful, who was steady and poised. there's one person on that stage you want to be with if there's a crisis and it's this man right here. >> reporter: president obama heads to williamsburg, virginia for three days of intensive debate prep. virginia is a battle ground state but no public events scheduled, no rallies. he'll be hitting the books with his top aides. anthony and rebeck characters i want to tell you about something troubling that happened outside of an obama campaign office in denver, colorado. a shot fired into the office. there were people inside. no one was hurt. you can see there that the glass was shattered. police in denver still investigating. they don't know whether the office was being targeted. >> nancy cordes in washington. thank you. and we want to get more on campaign 2012 and for that we turn to cbs news political director john dickerson who joins us now from our washington bureau. great to have you with us.
5:04 am
>> good morning. >> the outcome of this debate between the two vice presidents, you look at the cbs news poll, it shows biden as the front-runner. you look at the cnn news poll it shows ryan the front-runner. why a disparity and does it matter? >> well on the disparity question they are polling two different kinds of people. our poll was people who hadn't made up their minds yet. cnn was all registered voters. it gives you, one gives you the sense of the larger electorate. our poll gyps you the sense of people on the fence. they are the most interesting people. they've gone to some of them have gone trompl any after the first debate. the president had some of them before that and the campaigns are focused on those voters although in the battle ground states there aren't as many of those left. as far as the vice presidential debate it will matter for a little bit, but at the end of the day those uncommitted voters are voting on the top of the ticket. >> to that point, john, do you
5:05 am
think that the two vice presidential candidates accomplished what they needed to accomplish the other night? >> i think joe biden did what he had to do which get democrats energized again. there was really a sense in all of my conversations both on the trail and also with strategists of kind of upset, a mild panic at the president's performance which seemed tired and listless. democrats were happy to hear joe biden hit all the themes they wanted the president to bring up in his debate. it helped democrats. republicans were offended violently with some of the conversations i had in the way joe biden behaved. it was not a situation in which democrats gained and republicans lost. republicans were just as energized. in the end that means it's a wash for the larger picture. >> you have another presidential debate that is three days away. president obama, people said in the last debate he just didn't bring it. how is he going to prepare for this and what might we see different out of him this go
5:06 am
around? >> the important thing for the president, according to his aides is to show that there's a connection between what they say is this kind of duplisity from the romney campaign. that need to be tied what that would look like in office, what that would mean for people if they became president. that's one of the connections they need to make and the president needs to, you know, one of the things the romney campaign is trying to play on is the idea that the president is out of ideas and he's tired and doesn't have solutions. that wasn't just true in that first debate in what he said but he behaved. the president has to look like he wants it. that's what joe biden did in his debate. >> this is a town hall style debate. how does that change the game? >> it changes the game that people are unpredictable. relationships between the candidates and whoever asks the questions can go in any direction. in the 1992 race when george
5:07 am
bush was asked a question in one of these town hall debates how does the deficit and debt affect you it tripped him up a little bit. there's that personal interaction bit which is part of politics. that can be very unpredictable. we'll see how these two candidates deal with regular people when they have to talk to them face to face. >> what are we seeing at the state level. we saw romney get a bit of a bounce at the national level but ultimately the electoral college will make the choice here in this election. >> we're seeing the same kind of tightening in the battleground state polls we've seen in the national polls but it's happening in different states in different ways. governor romney is seeing some great improvement, things are going well for him in state polls and florida and colorado but not so much in virginia. tightening in ohio but not as much as colorado and florida. so, individual states are starting to align with candidates a little bit more and we'll have to see how that plays
5:08 am
out. . >> given that movement how critical is this debate for the president? >> it's pretty critical. he needs to fix, you know, those democrats may have been given a shot in the arm by joe biden but they are looking to the president now, and he also has to talk to those uncommitted voters who are starting to, some of them are thinking mitt romney is looking pretty attractive after that first debate. the president needs to really kind of be on his game in this second one. >> thanks, john. in pakistan police have arrested several people in connection with if brazen shooting of a 4-year-old girl who criticized the taliban. the girl was attacked and wounded on tuesday in the swat valley, a taliban stronghold. she said girls have a right to education. the taliban accused her of quote western thinking. elizabeth palmer reports from islamabad. >> reporter: malala yousufzai is on a ventilator at the moment
5:09 am
and she's still one sedation according to the pakistani military spokesman. she's in an army hospital. her condition is said to be stable and her surgical team says that at the moment there's no plan to move her abroad for more specialist treatment. malala yousufzai's shooting last week by taliban extremists in her home town near the afghan border has shocked the country. just 14 years old, she and two classmates also injured but less seriously were attacked after gunmen stopped their school bus. the girls say the men were specifically after malala yousufzai. it's no surprise. since 2009 defying local taliban edicts she's been a fearless campaigner for pakistani girls right to an education. unusually even some of the most conservative religious figures in pakistan have condemned the shooting. one group of clerics even issued
5:10 am
a fatwa, specifically saying islam approves of women seeking knowledge. pakistanis of all ages and walks of life deeply shaken by this savage attack are now praying for malala yousufzai's recovery. however, it's far from clear that the gunmen will be arrested. in the rugged area where the shooting occurred police say they have detained and released several people already but not the man who pulled the trigger. for cbs "this morning saturday" elizabeth palmer, islamabad. the head of al qaeda is calling for a holy war against the united states. in an audio message posted on the internet this morning, ayman al zawahiri praised those who stormed the embassy last month and calls for more protests. he called the demonstrators honest and zealous. >> deadly meningitis outbreak has prompted calls for tougher
5:11 am
oversight of the pharmaceutical industry. at least 184 people in 12 states have now been sickened. 14 have died. tennessee is the hardest hit state with at least 50 cases reported. the source of the outbreak is contaminated steroid shots made to treat back pain. the space shuttle endeavor is on the move been. it's on a flat bed truck moving at 2 miles per hour through the streets of l.a. from los angeles international airport. not hard to imagine going 2 miles per hour. the journey was delayed when power lines had to be taken down to accommodate the sheer size of the spacecraft. it's expected to reach the museuming tonight. >> most people go 2 miles per hour. >> baseball is down to its final four. st. louis. cardinals completed the biggest come back ever in a winner take all game. the cards scored four runs in ninth to beat the washington nationals. st. louis will play the giants for the national league title
5:12 am
starting tomorrow in san francisco. in the american league the new york yankees defeated the baltimore orioles 3-1 in the best of five series on friday. the yankees will play the tigers tonight in new york. a lot of happy family in st. louis. there is more fall out from the lance armstrong doping scandal. the times of london said it may take legal action to recover an estimated $1 million it paid in a libel suit brought by armstrong and pursue him for fraud. armstrong sudden the paper and two journalists over a story about doping allegations. >> armstrong's former manager has left the radioshack nissan team. he's been singled out as the single figure in armstrong's doping program. armstrong's foundation has taken a hit. it's a $5 million charity that raises money to fight cancer but can it survive the scandal?
5:13 am
joe, to start with, do you think his charity can survive this given the media impact and size of the scandal? >> yes, i think so. this is one of the rare instances where the charity is bigger than the celebrity. and the amount of interest that armstrong has drawn over the years is amazing. it really is bigger. when people think about live strong they don't think about armstrong. >> it's been moving away from lance. >> this is not a surprise. this has been going on for years. it plays in their favor. yesterday i was in a hardware store in new jersey and there were two guys in front of me that had live strong bracelets on. i said would you take that off with what to lance armstrong. he said this is not about lance armstrong this is about my sister. >> the endorsement deals are about lance armstrong. >> absolutely. >> so what happens to those? >> as far as, again we have to distinguish between lance armstrong the athlete and lance armstrong and the live strong charity.
5:14 am
that's a really, really big difference. now, the endorsements that will come from lance armstrong and what he may do in future that's a big difference from what will happen with the charity. the charity will go on. what happens to lance armstrong as an athlete that's a different story. >> is the tiger woods story and his infidelity, nike stood by him a sign of things to come for lance armstrong. >> we love comebacks. it hasn't played out. it's played out in the courts of the public opinion. he's never really been convicted of anything that's happened. he's never failed a drug test. that's the thing he stands by. we'll see what happens going forward. live strong is doing very well. their donations have gone up in the last couple of years because of what they do for the people. >> most come backs though are usually accompanied by some sort of confession or apology. there are 13 teammates who testified against him. do you see him ultimately having to say something about this? >> i think he's going to have to respond in a way that he should respond going forward. we've seen athletes like roger
5:15 am
clemens continue to fight against it and say they are not guilty. you know, we're is going to see the way it plays out. hopefully it doesn't affect the amazing people affected by the live strong brand. >> most come backs are also accompanied by competition. in the tiger woods scenario, for example, he's back out playing the sport that we grew to love him for. armstrong doesn't necessarily have that option. >> no, he doesn't right now. there are probably other things he could do. again it depends on what lance armstrong wants to do with himself going forward and how he he's very far along in his career. this is kind of, you know, the salad days of what he can do as an athlete. again, that has to be really clearly distinguished between what he does as an athlete and what happens with the live strong brand which is very powerful. >> what would you do if you were him? >> it's hard to say. i don't know all the facts. if i've done something that i
5:16 am
want to positively impact people i try to distance myself from the brand and let the live strong brand go off and do what it should do. i don't want to put myself in the middle of that and create any controversy. >> about 16 minutes after the hour. here's lonnie quinn with our first check of the weather. >> good morning. i got to tell you we'll start off taking a look at the sat right and radar image. satellite image shows you where the clouds are and radar shows you where the rain is. brighter the color the heavier the rain. cold front moving through the central portion of our country. southern plains, northern plains. rough day. right now making its move through the kansas city area. here's what you should plan on. you'll catch a lot of rain, one to three inches from des moines down to norman, oklahoma into dallas. there's a possibility for large hail, isolated tornado. we're in that time of air where air masses are clashing. the rainfall is a definite for you. large hail, the isolated
5:17 am
tornadoes, that would be a classification of severe weather and national weather service saying it's a slight chance for your day today. be on alert, possibility of something churning up out there but the rainfall plan on it. that's a quick look at a portion of the country. here's a closer look at your weather for the weekend. >> make it a happy saturday everybody. rebecca, anthony over to you guys. >> leon panetta says the u.s. is facing a threat equivalent to 9/11. it will be carried out by computer. he describes a cyber pearl harbor. david martin has the story.
5:18 am
>> reporter: u.s. officials say a cyber attack against the world's largest oil producer has been traced to hackers inside iran. another volley in an increasingly high stakes war going on in cyber space. defense secretary panetta warns potential enemies are developing the capability to launch devastating attacks. >> the collective result of these kinds of attacks could be a cyber pearl harbor. an attack that would cause physical destruction and the loss of life. an attack that would paralyze and shock the nation. and create a new profound sense of vulnerability. >> reporter: iran does not have that kind of capability yet. but u.s. officials say several recent cyber attacks have been traced to hackers inside iran. panetta stopped short of blaming iran but in a speech last night described the cyber attack which
5:19 am
occurred two months ago. >> more than 30,000 computers that it infected were rendered useless and had to be replaced. >> reporter: the attack using a virus did not disrupt oil production built a couple of days later the virus struck again this time against the world's second largest producer of lie question if ied natural gas. >> the virus was probably the most destructive attack that the private-sector has seen to date. these attacks mark a significant escalation of the cyber threat. >> reporter: it could be in retaliation for cyber attacks against iran's nuclear program. also recent attacks on the websites of energy institutions including bank of america and jpmorgan chase could be iran's way of fighting back against economic sanctions. the attacks overwhelm the sites with emails denying service to
5:20 am
legitimate customers. that would be a minor disruption compared to what would happen as if in this test on an industrial turbine hackers took over the computer controls of critical infrastructure. panetta said the pentagon has made significant advances in identifying where attacks are coming from. and he warned the u.s. is prepared to strike back. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. and when we come back why one of the worst droughts in the nation's history is a good thing for pumpkins. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

5:24 am
surface which causes bacteria to grow. >> reporter: but less rain this summer meant less bacteria and more pumpkins now for customers to pick. >> i see a big pumpkin. >> reporter: and plenty for the pumpkin themed attractions he offers like this pumpkin canon. >> i'm very happy to have this large crop. people come out here and they are just totally amazed. >> reporter: in a tough year for farmers, pumpkins are the smashing success. for cbs "this morning" saturday, elaine quijano, mchenry, illinois. >> so are you carving pumpkins in the mason household this year? >> this job usually falls to me with a big knife and the question usually is how many. >> were you the kind of person that draws on face. >> can't go free form. >> i go free form. >> what do you get then >> picasso. >> that's what i thought. that could getting youly.

. some patients are difficult for doctors to reach especially teens. but social media is giving physicians a whole new way to discuss sensitive information. and for one doctor in kansas city, emailing, texting and tweeting patients has become standard practice. natasha burgert treats patients
5:41 am
in her office and with checkups online. burgert is at the forefront of doctors using social media. she uses facebook, and twitter to get information to her hard to reach patients. >> having vetted sources of good scientific and medical information is critical. >> chris brings her two children to see dr. burgert. >> have you looked at her blog? >> after her kids get a checkup she sends a recommended blog on car seats to her iphone. if she has questions she can follow up with a text. >> sometimes a quick query with a text can enable us to skip an appointment. >> doctors have this role in our society of almost being god-like and removed from the rest of us. when you see your doctor tweet that changes your relationship with him. they become more human. >> that's especially important
5:42 am
to adolescence like this 18-year-old. >> i feel comfortable with her. and because i can communicate with her like outside of seeing her in the office it makes me feel more like i can teller what's going on in my life. >> wired editor thinks social media will continue to change how doctors practice medicine. >> think the future of the doctor-patient relationship will include a freer flow of information from the patient to the doctor and doctor to patient. >> joining us is now is natasha burgert. >> thank you so much. great to be in new york city this hurricane warning. >> you started doing this with social media about three years ago. what made you begin? >> well, our patients are gathering health care information in different ways than they used to before. when you used to go the doctor we gave you all information. now patients can access that themselves online. so doctors, we need to find a way to distribute that information in a better way. >> i know from having a
5:43 am
teenager, a 16-year-old, that often the only way to reach her is by texting even if she's standing next to you. >> that's right. >> but do teenagers actually respond? are you finding it's an effective way of reaching them? >> absolutely. they invited me into that place we're continuing our dialogue that we began in the office and it's a way -- there's another person in their life that can say hey how are you doing. >> what fascinates me you think about the older generation they might be apprehensive doing this, putting something like your health history on twitter or over a text is kind of a disconcerting thing for some people because security privacy are issues that come up. >> always an issue and my job is to be respectful of private health information, but i don't practice medicine online. i'm sharing health care information online. and so this is a place that's very effective and fast in real-time in order for me to do that. >> what are some of the places you think this is having the most positive impact?
5:44 am
>> it's having a positive impact just telling patients information about what's is going on in our office, telling them we have flu shots available or information about the flu shots. also responding to common things that are happening in the media. we had an episode of having chicken pox lollypops and we respond what was happening in the media. >> that was interesting because you did. you tweeted to parents about the lollipops. what was the outcome? >> our parents were relieved to get information from their physician to make sure they were doing the right thing for their kids. >> what's the best way? when you're dealing with kids, what's the best way of reaching them? >> i'll reach kids any way they want to be reached. and so if that's through facebook, if that's through texting or if it's just coming in to the office face to face i want to be available to my patients where they are and i can change and adapt in order to make that happen.
5:45 am

ancestral gold is missing. the second presidential debate is scheduled for tuesday and the pressure is on president obama after his poorly received performance in the first debate. joining us now from washington with some insights on the challenges facing mr. obama and mitt romney is debate coach brett o'donnell. in massachusetts near boston is alan schroeder, presidential debate expert and professor of journalism at northeastern university. he's author of presidential debates, 50 years of high risk tv. good morning. we certainly learned the last time around it's high risk tv. brett, let me start with you. president obama will start three days of debate preparation today so, at this point what do you think he has to do to win this next debate and how important it is for him? >> i think this debate is everything for him. mow the first debate was by all accounts a tragedy for the president. the polls turned around. i think he's got to get in the
6:04 am
game. so, you know, this happens frequently with incumbent presidents who don't take the presidential debates as seriously as they should. it happened back in 2004 when george bush didn't perform as well in his first debate and he did actually come back. so we'll see if the president can do the same. >> you coached romney, brett. how would you approach him if you were the president and what would you say are his weak spots? >> well, both men are not very good when they get on the defensive. so, you know, both have to be on the offense. but that's tricky in a town hall debate because the audience is also a participant in the debate and so i think going too strongly on offense like vice president biden did a couple of nights ago would be a mistake. so you have to -- you have to balance between going on offense but also making sure you're effectively connecting with the voters in the audience. >> alan, brett mentioned we're going a town hall style format.
6:05 am
how significantly different is that. from what we've seen over the years, how do you win here? >> it's a very different format. it's a completely different feel. brett is absolutely right this question is how aggressive you can be. the important thing for the candidates is to really listen to those questions that are being asked and be very responsive to those. people hate it when politicians duck questions or don't answer the question that was asked so here's an opportunity for both of these candidates to really show their empathy with voters by being responsive. >> alan voters as much as they are listening to the questions they are also and we see this constantly in the polls paying attention to the nonverbal accuse, walking around stage in this town hall setting. debate backfired on gore. it looked ridiculous. people in the audience laughed at him which made it worse. >> brett, do we know which of
6:06 am
these candidates has more experience in these town hall format? do you think somebody has an advantage here? >> no. i think both men, you know, have 0 done a number of town halls especially while candidates running for office. governor romney has a place in new hampshire, he's done extensive town hall meetings in new hampshire. both have experience of doing a town hall. it's a matter of who is better prepared. >> speaking of that preparation, brett, how much is substance versus town hall setting. you might being walking around the change. is that choreographed in advance? >> we think a lot about how you're going present yourself on a stage so stage presence is certainly a part of it. you want to make sure you're prepared with the substance and a strategy to execute and finally you have to be mentally prepared. that's the most important dimension of it. the president probably wasn't as mentally prepared as he should have been last week. >> the challenge now is for the president to try to make a come
6:07 am
back in this second debate. both of you suggest it's dangerous to get overly aggressive in this format. how does the president hope to score points here. >> maybe he would need to acknowledge his poor performance in the first debate. try to joke his way through that and then, you know, just again use this opportunity to really make that emotional connection to the audience. >> brett? >> i agree somewhat. i think what he's got to do is he's got to make the debate about something other than his economic policies. he's got to make the debate about governor romney and use the offense that he failed to use that biden did use the other debate. so it's really about getting on offense and walking that tight rope in terms of making sure that you don't leave out the audience members. >> brett o'donnell and alan, thank you both for being with us this morning. >> thank you.

6:24 am
right? >> they sure are. that's because women can. basically women are in the workforce. they are earning their independently economically sound and they can do it. so they are not staying around if they are unhappy. >> won how much of the fact that fewer divorces on the decline because fewer people are getting married and they are getting married later and later in life. so that plays in to this too. >> absolutely. ate good thing that people are getting married later and later in life. when you come to gray divorces and gray marriages, often couples have been married for 30, 40 years. if they look at each other after the children are gone and say you know, we just don't have the same interests or same values. women are less afraid to make that leap and to go out into the world on their own. >> we've been through a very tough economic time. how much is the economy affecting this. economic issues are a big part of divorces. >> absolutely. i think that if couples have limited resources and someone
6:25 am
has lost their job, those couples might just try to stick it out. divorce is expensive. if you can't afford to keep up two households. but if the resources are somewhat plentiful and two people are working and a woman says to herself, you know, i can support myself she won't be as afraid to leave. >> how much is access to online dating, social media, people reconnecting with people from their past playing into it? >> it's an interesting question. because i think definitely there's the hope when people divorce that they are going to find somebody else to connect with. but because marriage is really now about personal fulfillment, they are really looking to even go at it on their own if that so be it. it's better to be on one's own people are think than to be in a relationship that's less supportive. >> when you stress the word thinking, what your saying >> i'm saying people are being mindful of whether or not they are going to actually go ahead and divorce. >> that's your advice? >> that's my advice.

actually there's some recent research that suggests that even once people do get divorced, they are rethinking it and thinking well was this the best decision for us? so there's a lot of ambivalence around the area of decision-making around divorce. thinking it through is important. >> infidelity has always been a factor. >> yes. >> at this stage as well? >> interestingly the divorce rate for gray divorces is the same for that of the general population which is about 27%. it's about a third major cause of divorce. >> one last question about advice. two people who are thinking about this, what's your number one thing to consider i'm a big proponent of couple's counselling. if you've been with someone for a very long time and raised children with them this person will always be in your life. weddings, graduations, whatever. it makes sense to go to couple counselling. >> thanks so much. we got run.
